Road trippin': What would you ask

Before the honorables here in Raleigh get themselves all cranked up for the new session (coming Jan. 24), I’m going to wander up to that other capital city next week and take the temperature of the Greensboro area’s Congressional critters.

Interviews have tentatively been set or are trying to get themselves scheduled with Reps. Coble, Watt and Miller as well as our two senators. Although the state purpose of the trip is to check in and see how they’re doing under the new Democratic management, with any luck I’ll get hopelessly sidetracked on even more interesting stories.

On the agenda will be some questions for the House members about why they voted how they did on the first 100 hours bills that have been running this week. And I’m thinking Iraq will come up.

But at the risk of getting the usual silence and tumbleweeds that blow through the comments link when I ask something like this, what’s on your mind? What do you want to know from our federal honorables?

As always, folks who send me a question will get it answered, at least in part, here before the main story publishes later this month.
